UMECTA PD SUMMARY
Rx only
For topical use only
Not for ophthalmic use
Umecta is a keratolytic, emollient which is a gentle, yet potent, tissue softener for nails and skin
Each gram of Umecta PD bioadhesive emulsion and topical suspension contains40% urea, sodium hyaluronate 0.3%, BHT, butyrospermum parkii fruit oil, citric acid, dimethylacrylamide (and) acrylic acid (and) polystyrene ethyl methacrylate copolymer, disodium EDTA, glyceryl stearate, glycine soja sterol, helianthus annuus oil, hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose, purified water, sodium citrate, stearic acid.
Umecta PD (UREA) is indicated for the following:
For debridement and promotion of normal healing of hyperkeratotic surface lesions, particularly where healing is retarded by local infection, necrotic tissue, fibrinous or purulent debris or eschar. Urea is useful for the treatment of hyperkeratotic conditions such as dry, rough skin, dermatitis, psoriasis, xerosis, ichthyosis, eczema, keratosis, keratoderma, corns, and calluses, as well as damaged, ingrown and devitalized nails.

Clinical Trials Related to Umecta PD (Urea)
Dose-Response Curve: Interventions to Prevent and Treat Radiodermatitis [Recruiting]
Dose response curve to define the security and tolerable dose to be used for prevention and
treatment of radiodermatitis in patients with breast or head and neck cancer.
Study to Evaluate 13 C Isotope Ratio Measurement for Urea Cycle Capacity Assessment [Completed]
In this short-term study a method for the evaluation of the metabolic competency of the urea
cycle in vivo will be assessed. In order to monitor the efficacy of new treatment options
for patients with urea cycle disorders and to monitor the severity of the disease, a
reliable and safe quantitative method for the measurement of the urea cycle flux is
required.
Urea synthesis will be evaluated by administering sodium [1-13C]-acetate and measuring
subsequent incorporation of [13C] label from Na-acetate into urea in healthy volunteers and
asymptomatic subjects genetically disposed to urea cycle disorders.
Study in Healthy Subjects, Patients With Urea Cycle Disorders (UCD) and Carriers of UCD Mutations to Evaluate Urea Cycle Function [Completed]
This diagnostic study will be performed to investigate the performance of the urea cycle in
healthy subjects, asymptomatic carriers of Urea Cycle Disorders (UCD) mutations and subjects
with genetically proven urea cycle disorders. The ureagenesis rate will be measured by 13C
incorporation assay, a method for in vivo measurement of urea cycle performance with stable
isotopes.
Vaginal Fluid Wash in Pre-labour Rupture of Membranes [Recruiting]
The investigators assess in this study the sensitivity of Urea and Creatinine and that of
Nitrazine test in vaginal wash after injecting saline in the vagina of patients with
pre-labour rupture of membranes
Evaluation of Therapeutic Efficacy in Use of Chamomilla Gel, Chamomilla Infuse and Urea in Radiodermatitis [Not yet recruiting]
This study aims to evaluate therapeutics interventions in radiodermatitis in patients with
breast or head and neck cancer. The data collect is going to begin after determining the
better dose in a dose-response curve that is being conduct now in the same institution. To
evaluate the skin reaction will be applied scale of the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group
(RTOG) - Acute Radiation Morbidity Scoring Criteria, Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse
Events (CTCAE) and Radiation-Induced Skin Reaction Assessment Scale (RISRAS).
